Caption: How to stay safe in the sun. Dr Catherine Borysiewicz, Dermatology Consultant at King Edward VII's Hospital in London, has listed five simple ways to prevent sun damage. Don’t forget the sun cream. Everyone, regardless of skin type, should be using sun cream. Catherine recommends using an SPF "of at least 30" and "at least 4-star UVA protection”. Apply it generously. Don’t just put it on some of your body, make sure it is all over. Don’t forget that the sun can reach everywhere, including your feet, scalp and ears. Don’t spend too long in the sun. During the summer, the sun tends to be hottest and at its most dangerous between the hours of 11 am and 3 pm. You should consider staying out of the direct sun between these times and don't forget to drink plenty of fluids to reduce the risk of heat stroke. Cool down sunburns. If you do get sunburnt, cool your skin down with cool water. Catherine then recommends following up with after sun to "reduce irritation”. You can also take painkillers such as paracetamol to "help ease the pain by helping to reduce inflammation caused by sunburn”. Be vigilant of moles. If you have any moles you should be "extra vigilant in the sun" because "the UV rays from sunlight can cause moles to become cancerous”. You should monitor your moles on a regular basis, and if they change in any way, you should have them checked by your GP. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
